HRH Prince Louis turns 29 on Monday 3 August; the 3rd child of HRH the Grand Duke and HRH the Grand Duchess was born on 3 August 1986 at the Maternité Grande-Duchesse Charlotte in Luxembourg.
Prince Louis married Tessy Antony on 29 September 2006 in Luxembourg and have two sons, Prince Gabriel Michael Louis Ronny (born in Geneva on 12 March 2006) and Prince Noah Etienne Guillaume Gabriel Matthias Xavier (born in Luxembourg on 21 September 2007).
After his primary school education in Lorentzweiler, Prince Louis went on to study at the American School of Luxembourg. He then left for Switzerland, where he continued his secondary education at the Collège Beau Soleil and graduated in June 2005.
During his time in Switzerland, he developed a particular interest in social and humanitarian work. He has taken part in missions organised by an NGO, in cooperation with his school, in Mumbai, India. There, he taught English to children from the poorest neighbourhoods of the city and to children living on the street. After his return to Europe, he followed what seems to have become a calling and carried out a one-year traineeship at the headquarters of the Red Cross in Geneva. After spending two years in the United States, where Prince Louis underwent training in "Aeronautics and Aeronautical Management" and gained his "Private pilot certificate", the princely family moved to England. There, Prince Louis and Princess Tessy attended university.
In May 2014, Prince Louis graduated from Richmond, the American International University in London with a BA in Art in Communications. Prince Louis wrote his undergraduate dissertation on humanitarian advertisement. Prince Louis currently works in the field of social corporate responsibilities. When his agenda and his studies permit, Prince Louis and his family return to Luxembourg and take part in the activities of the Grand Ducal family.
